Cane's scattered mind couldn't stand the sight of Nala, he didn't even remember her existence and all he wanted to do was to rest next to his mate.
"Have you eaten?" Nala asked with concern in her beautiful eyes.
But, her sweet voice rubbed Cane in the wrong way, especially when she made an attempt to touch him, seeing how unwell he was.
"Are you okay?"
"Touch me and I am going to kill you," Cane warned her darkly.
That warning managed to stop Nala in her tracks, as her hand howered midair. She stopped herself, feeling scared stiff to notice malice in Cane's voice, as if he was going to keep his promise if she really touched him. She immediately retracted her hand.
The Alpha didn't even raise his voice when he said that, but he didn't need to, because his intention was so clear, Nala could see that right in his eyes, which forced her to lower her gaze, afraid to look at him directly.
